This roller derby season has been an exciting one for the OVRG All Stars, who currently have a 6-1 winning season. The All Stars also have two upcoming away bouts scheduled. On June 16, the All Stars will be traveling to Charleston, WV, where they will be taking on the Chemical Valley Roller Girls at the Charleston Civic Center. On July 21, the All Stars will be traveling to Erie, PA, to play against the Eerie Roller Girls.

OVRG will be holding a Fresh Meat Boot Camp for potential new skaters on May 22, at the Martins Ferry Recreational Center. During the boot camp, skaters will learn the basic skills necessary to try out for the OVRG. If any potential skaters do not have proper equipment, OVRG will have some available for skaters to borrow during the camp. Anyone interested in skating with the league who would like to reserve a spot at our next boot camp, as well as anyone interested in joining the league as a volunteer, please contact our recruitment committee at recruitment@ohiovalleyrollergirls.com.
